.NEXT Europe 2019

What’s on your to-do list in Copenhagen? Here’s ours!

On track to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital, Copenhagen is not just one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, but well on its way to being one of its healthiest.

That’s just one of the reasons we’re excited to meet old friends and make new ones while attending Nutanix 2019 .NEXT Conference Europe at the Bella Center Copenhagen!

So while it’s a great venue to network with thinkers, dreamers, and innovators leading the way for Enterprise IT, we’re also looking forward to checking out a few of the locations that make Copenhagen one of the world’s best cities. (We’d love to hear if you feel we’ve missed anything off our list…!)

Historic City Center A short walk from Nørreport station along the Frederiksborggade brings you to Slotsholmen island. Although, truth be told, you may not realize you’re on an island unless you look very closely and see yourself surrounded by canals and the Copenhagen harbor. From here you’ll see some of Copenhagen’s most historic buildings - the Christiansborg Palace, Thorvaldsen’s Museum, Børsen, the Royal Danish Library, and Christian IV’s Stock Exchange. It’s a great place to hang out, enjoy your surroundings and sit on the wooden platforms by the canal. And, if you’re looking for one of the best views of the city, make your way to the top of the tower in the Christiansborg Palace, the highest tower in the city, and enjoy the breathtaking view.

The Round Tower Maybe as this is the 50th anniversary of American Astronaut Neil Armstrong’s famous words, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” We’re excited to check out Europe’s oldest functioning astronomical observatory. We’re sure that if the 209 meter climb up the spiral staircase doesn’t make you breathless, the view will!

Tivoli Gardens Who wouldn’t want to walk around one of the world’s oldest amusement parks, where Hans Christian Andersen and other Danish luminaries got their inspiration? If a stroll around the gardens isn’t exciting enough, there are more than a few rides to challenge even the boldest! Mikkeller Located in the Vesterbro, founded in 2006, Mikkeller offers one of the most varied beer selections of any microbrewery. In 12 years, Mikkeller has launched over 800 different beers. We’re sure you’ll find one that will make it onto your all-time favorite’s list.

NOHO Nestled in one of Copenhagen’s most hipster-esque locales and home to some of the city’s best DJs, NOHO offers high-quality coffee, ice-cold cocktails and premium snacks and meals all day and night.

BOB Located just across from Halmtorvet Square, the restaurant’s wide glass façade showcases a great view of the neighborhood. Known for a balance of social responsibility and sustainability with taste and quality, the restaurant’s chefs use only organic ingredients across the menu, including cocktails.

Fotografisk Center For any photography enthusiast, this is a ‘must visit’. The art gallery normally hosts five photographic exhibitions of world-renowned photographers and visual artists. In addition to the exhibitions, we’re sure the bookstore’s amazing selection of photographic materials will have all you need to help make you a better visual artist! Mielcke & Hurtigkarl One of Copenhagen’s finest restaurants, Mielcke & Hurtigkarl is a culinary experience, located in the spectacular rose gardens of Frederiksberg Park. Award-winning chef Jakob Mielcke Hansen is a culinary mastermind who is known for creating a mouthwatering experience that you’ll remember long after your visit. Who doesn’t want to try Cedar Tree & Pickled Plums?

Khora Billed as the world’s first virtual reality store, Khora, located in Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District, helps bridge the gap between the real and virtual worlds. Stop by and spend 20-30 minutes to travel to another dimension. The Little Mermaid Arguably not the most impressive sculpture in Copenhagen, but certainly the most well-known. The statue, made famous by Hans Christian Andersen, overlooks the harbor. While it might require just a quick visit, it’s also close by the Kastellet, a star fortress from the 17th century, and it’s well worth a walk around the area.

HYCU.COM We look forward to seeing you there!
